WARNING
Risk of injury due to oil escaping under high pressure! Oil escaping under high pressure can injure the
skin and the eyes.
▶ Do not use the crimping/cutting tool if damage is visible.
▶ Do not use the crimping/cutting tool if oil escapes.
▶ Make sure that the piston retracts after every crimping operation.
▶ If the piston does not retract after the crimping operation, press the piston return switch for manual
retraction.
WARNING
Risk of injury due to flying fragments! Flying fragments present a risk of injury to the eyes and body.
▶ Wear eye protection and protective gloves.
▶ Use suitable connection material in combination with the correct crimping dies.
▶ Before and during the crimping operation, make sure that the crimping dies are correctly positioned.
CAUTION
Short-circuit due to formation of flash produced by crimping operations! A faulty crimping operation
can lead to the formation of flash, which can cause short-circuiting/arcing.
▶ Use the correct crimping die.
▶ Use suitable connecting material.
▶ Remove the flashes that form in the course of crimping work.
In cold weather the hydraulic oil can thicken and slow the crimping operation. Perform 5 to 10 empty
crimping operations to heat up the crimping tool.
1. Turn the crimping head to the desired position.
2. Insert the connecting material into the open crimping head.
3. Press and hold down the control switch until the piston retracts.
4. Remove the crimped connecting material.
Repeat the crimping operation if necessary, but never at the same place. Perform further crimping
operations beside each other (B). Obtain the information concerning the permitted number of
crimping operations from the manufacturer of the connecting material.
